1 To Do

1. Usage instructions including
   1. How to log an error message.
   2. How to make a DLL.
   3. How to make a window class.
   4. How to create a configuration option (in the *.ini file).
   5. How to implement user-specific configuration options.
2. Rationale for dynamic Windows message definition.
3. Rationale for storing configuration options in *.ini files instead of the Winders Registry.

2 What is this?

This is my own framework for programs which run on Microsloth Winders. Features include:

• basic C source code for programs,
• dynamic Windows message definition,
• command line build system (build.bat & Makefile.w32),
• error & debug logging to Event Log, pop-up windows,&/or a file.
